The Open Link

The Link (our entrance and welcome area) is open for hot drinks and a friendly chat on Monday and Thursday mornings during term time. Sometimes there are also homemade cakes on offer, or some yummy biscuits. Whether you come for a morning coffee with friends, to get to know new people, or just to sit and relax, you are very welcome. The Open Link is modern, bright and airy, a safe and friendly place, where you can make yourself at home. There’s always someone around to offer a listening ear or prayer, if you need some confidential support. Or you can use the church for a quiet moment of prayer and reflection, or to sit and ponder, or just to get a bit of peace. Pop in to grab a coffee when you are passing, or relax awhile and take your time. There’s always a warm welcome and some good company.
